Behaviour and Management of European Ungulates
Edited by Professor Rory Putman, Environmental and Wildlife Consultant, Emeritus Professor at Manchester
Metropolitan University, Visiting Professor at the Universities of Utrecht and Glasgow and Professor Marco
Apollonio, Department of Natural and Environmental Sciences, University of Sassari, Italy
This volume considers a
number of aspects of the
balance of cost and benet of
ungulates and their manage-
ment in Europe. They are an
extraordinarily important group
of animals worldwide, at many
levels in their remarkable
biodiversity; often as keystone
species with a disproportionate
effect on the functioning of the
wider ecological systems of which they form a part or
as dominant species acting as ecological engineers;
and as a prey base for endangered or expanding
populations of large carnivores. They are also impor-
tant culturally and economically, as a major source of
protein in subsistence cultures and because of their
wide exploitation in recreational hunting, which is still
a major form of land-use in many countries.
Management approaches are explored through
a synthesis of the underlying biology and a com-
parison of the management techniques adopted in
different countries. Each chapter, from international
experts, provides an experienced and informed
review based on research experience.
Contents: Introduction; Value systems for ungulates;
Reintroductions as a management tool for European
ungulates; Problems associated with invasive (intro-
duced) species of ungulates; Competition between
domestic and wild ungulates; The management of
overabundant ungulate populations; Effects of trophy
hunting on dynamics of ungulate populations; Prob-
lems associated with urbanisation and the manage-
ment of urban populations of ungulates; The manage-
ment of ungulates in national parks; The problems of
management of cross-border populations of ungulates;
Novel management methods: immunocontraception;
Behaviour of ungulates as it affects management;
Welfare issues in the management of wild ungulates;
Management of ungulates in the 21
st
century: how far
have we come?
Readership: this will be essential reading for practising
wildlife managers and wildlife professionals, those
involved in research to improve methods of wildlife
management, and policy-makers in local, regional and
national administrations.

Design of Liquid Retaining
Concrete Structures 3rd edition
Dr. John P. Forth, Senior Lecturer, School of Civil
Engineering, University of Leeds, UK and Andrew J.
Martin, Senior Engineer, COWI A/S, Denmark
This new edition of a successful
engineering text provides an
interpretation of the more
theoretical guidance given in the
new suite of Eurocodes for the
subject of retaining structures. The
book qualifies the extensive set of
guides in terms of the design of
these structures and provides a
clear path through the
process. It still discusses structural
elements individually so that expertise can be applied to
any situation likely to be encountered. The
modifications, such as changes to surface zones, the
critical steel ratio, the maximum crack spacing (flexural
and imposed strain) and edge restraint, that have been
introduced into the Eurocodes are highlighted and
discussed in detail.
The new suite of Eurocodes is claimed to be the most
technically advanced codes in the world; the codes
were developed with the intention of making them less
restrictive than existing codes. The third edition reflects
this philosophy by providing more theoretical
background information and discussion, with specific
reference to current and previous research, helping the
reader to achieve a greater understanding and a wider
application of the basic design guidance as the codes
intended. As such the book remains a vital tool for
practising civil and structural engineers.
Contents: Introduction; Basis of design and materials;
Design of reinforced concrete; Design of prestressed
concrete; Distribution reinforcement and joints: design for
thermal stresses and shrinkage in restrained panels;
Design calculations; Testing and rectification; Vapour
exclusion; References. Index
Readership: practising civil and structural engineers and
postgraduate students will all find this book of particular
value.

Hydrocarbon Process Safety
2nd edition
Clifford Jones, Reader, School of Engineering, University
of Aberdeen, UK
An expanded and updated edition
of this established text with more
numerical problems and a wider
scope. Readers will find much
about the industry and important
operations such as refining, heat
exchange, cracking,
polymerisation and hydrogenation.
National and international
standards are considered in
relation to site layout. The
coverage of the fire and explosion behaviour of
hydrocarbons, in particular flash points, has been
extended. The topic of leaked gas detection has been
introduced, and there is considerable extension of the
coverage of static electricity hazards.
There is more on liquefied natural gas (LNG),
regasification, natural gas condensates, and re-refining
of crude oil products that have previously been used as
lubricants or as hydraulic fluids . Tight gas and coal bed
methane feature, as does the controversial matter of
hydraulic fracture to obtain them. Other additions
include hydrocracking, hydrodesulphurisation and
hydrodenitrogenation. The COMAH (Control of Major
Accident Hazards) regulations are covered and sign
conventions for hazards are explained with illustrations.

Logging the Chalk
R.N. Mortimore, ChalkRock Limited, East Sussex, UK
This is the first book to deal
comprehensively with the
subject and includes vital
information for geologists and
engineers working with the
Chalk in any geological or
construction project. It is written
by an acknowledged
international expert and
encapsulates years of
accumulated knowledge,
expertise and data.
Chalk is one of the more difficult rocks to core-log and
a particular difficulty is the identification of chalk
engineering grade which relies heavily on fracture
aperture. Obtaining the correct grade to define these
factors is essential whether for tunnels in London or for
wind turbine piled foundations in the offshore chalks.
Both field and core sections are illustrated to assist and
give a visual appreciation in this respect. The Chalk
stratigraphy is covered with key formations and marker
beds illustrated, and the best field sections for viewing
them identified thus enabling conceptual ground models
to be built for construction projects
This book is based on the standard lithostratigraphy
and engineering description developed over many years
including over 3000 onshore and offshore chalk-cored
boreholes undertaken by the author over more than 30
years. Also, typical lithologies and weathering profiles
likely to be encountered in the various onshore and
offshore construction projects are illustrated using both
field exposures, rotary core samples and geophysical
borehole wire-line logs.
This book will enable geologists to work from first
principles to construct a lithostratigraphy and define
weathering boundaries where information may be poor
and unexpected conditions met.
Contents: Describing, classifying and interpreting the
chalk for engineering using field exposures and rock core.
Lithostratigraphy for the Chalk. Chalk formations and
marker beds in the N. Province of England onshore and
offshore. Central Graben North Sea Chalks. Logging the
Chalk: styles of weathering in core and field sections with
examples of CIRIA Chalk grades in rock core. The future.
Bibliography. Appendices: CIRIA grades; Describing
flints; Typical Chalk core logs
Readership: this will be a vital manual and reference for
practising and academic geologists, geotechnical
engineers, hydrogeologists, petroleum geologists and civil
engineers, students in these disciplines and anyone with an
interest in the Chalk.

A Practical Guide to Facilities
Management
Ian C. Barker, MCIOB, Estates and Facilities Manager,
Blackburn College, Lancashire, UK
This book provides a readily
accessible and practical guide to
the increasingly important subject
of facilities management. It shows
the basis for the complex and
constantly moving requirements
of FM and recognises that it is
becoming more vital in its role of
enabling the core business of a
company to function effectively
and is fast becoming a methodology for affecting and
influencing the profitability of most organisations.
Based upon the authors many years of experience,
the book gives an overview of most FM theories and
applies them in the workplace. It is a thoughtprovoking
approach to FM practice and illustrates what the author
has found to work. The modern challenges of FM mean
that more and more managers need to be innovators
and to do more with less. This book will facilitate that
process. In addition, it provides useful tips on the issue of
sustainability and how a company can profitably benefit
by FM actions in this area.
Contents: Getting started; The basics; Staff; Policies,
procedures, risk and liability; Outsourcing/insourcing; In-
house teams; Maintenance; Environmental management;
Waste; The fleet; Appendices [(Strategic objectives

agreements, Cleaning specification, Grounds
maintenance specification, Health & safety questionnaire,
Self-assessment reports (SAR)]
Readership: For those entering FM who want a head start
with setting up and running a department and to existing
practitioners who are seeking helpful hints and tips. It will
also form a valuable primer for students of FM who want to
see how the practical day-to-day issues of FM can be dealt
with.
A considerable and commendable effort has been taken in preparing
what truly is a practitioners document and will find its own place in
this niche, but growing field of practice. It is pleasing to note that a
CIOB member has taken an active lead in this area by creating such
a pioneering, informative and practical document. CIOB CIOB CIOB CIOB CIOB

Self Portrait The Eyes Within
William Mitchell
This is the story of Bill Mitchells
life from hospital at an early
age through a life of art with
commissions offered 80 years
later.
After college (self-funded) and
war service, he became a
consultant with the London
County Council and his
experimentation resulted in a
vast array of new and innovative
finishes. This led to work with famous architects such as
Basil Spence and Sir Freddie Gibberd who designed the
Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King
where Bill created the famous bronze sculpted doors
and designed the Portland Stone frontispiece. He also
produced the Stations of the Cross at Clifton Cathedral,
Bristol and the Grade II listed Corn King and Spring
Queen figures at Wexham. He has had nine works of art
listed Grade II by English Heritage more than any
other artist.
Following completion of work at Qatars zoo, he
became Adviser to the Amirs Office on Art and Design
and was involved in creating interior decoration and
fabulous gardens for palaces as well as massive
infrastructure projects in Doha.
Bills zest for life, his love of London, his determination
to cover the world with sculptures, murals and
decoration are main themes, as is his dislike of
minimalism and the established art world. Included are
stories about his discussions on art with Princess
Margaret, his clashes with Prince Philip, his battles with
Mohamed Al Fayed and the phenomenal success of the
Egyptian Hall and Escalator at Harrods. He designed
the Hall and executed the carving on all 300 panels
cladding the walls no mean achievement for any
sculptor but Bill was by then 75 years old.
Self Portrait contains a vast array of illustrations of
Bills work and in so doing reveals the man a true
creative genius, who invariably had a smile or comic
story to offer, and whose energy carried projects to
completion despite the many challenges. Its a brilliant
and inspiring story.
Readership: This highly illustrated book will be of huge
interest to architects, designers, sculptors, engineers,
artists and anyone interested in civic and public art.
Mitchell reveals himself not just to be an accomplished
innovator, experimenter and sculptor, but a lively and
entertaining storyteller with plenty to say about art, life
education and society. a weighty, glossy, hardback tome

Severe Plastic Deformation
Technology
A. Rosochowski, Senior Lecturer and Leader of
Advanced Light Metals Technology Research Group,
University of Strathclyde, UK
This book is the first to cover the
engineering aspects of severe
plastic deformation (SPD)
technology used to refine grain
structure in metallic materials. The
fundamentals of both the well-
known and novel SPD processes
are explained and the engineering
know-how required for successful
implementation of these processes
revealed. The principles of each SPD technique are
explained and insight provided into the mechanics of
material deformation and microstructural changes. The
equipment used for SPD processing is described
including machines and tools.
The book covers the most popular SPD process of
equal channel angular pressing, ECAP and its
incremental version, I-ECAP. A separate chapter is
devoted to tooling used in ECAP/I-ECAP. Another
popular SPD process is high pressure torsion (HPT),
which produces very good results in terms of refining
grain structure but faces some technical challenges. A
less known SPD process is cyclic extrusion compression
(CEC), which is thoroughly explained as is twist
extrusion (TE) which is a relatively new process that is
showing good potential. Finally, an original SPD process
of accumulated roll bonding (ARB), capable of refining
grain structure in sheets, is discussed.
By explaining the engineering aspects of SPD, it
enables the best SPD process to be chosen for a given
application thus avoiding time-consuming and wasteful
trials. It also encourages metal forming researchers and
material scientists to work together in order to improve
existing and develop new SPD processes. Finally, this
book is also for industrial engineers, who will ultimately
be using the SPD technology for mass production of
metals with refined grain structure and improved
properties.
Contents: Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE);
Incremental ECAP; Tooling for ECAP; High pressure

Landscape and Garden
Design: Lessons from History
Gordon Haynes
This book presents a chronological
review of garden design which
both simplifies the big picture and
supplies a rationale, with
examples, of the merits and
demerits of each design period
while reflecting on the social
conditions which generated each
one. It gathers design ideas and
their implementation over the last
500 years, presented in historical
order and simplified to allow easy digestion by the
reader, particularly if meeting the subject for the first
time. As such the book demystifies history and identifies
the relative importance of new approaches in design,
particularly where they are seen to be progressive.
Through the inclusion of essential examples with their
contribution to the progress of design and value in
teaching the reader will be able to quickly grasp the
essence of historical design styles, discover where they
can go to see them for themselves and to appreciate
how relevant they are to present day theories of design.
The book contains photographs, diagrams and plans
to create a readily-accessible and informative volume.

Windfarm Visualisation
Perspective or Perception?
Alan Macdonald, RIBA, MD, Architech Animation
Studios (UK) Ltd
As windfarms proliferate,
visualisation as a means of
predicting the scale and
impacts of wind turbines has
become highly controversial.
After nearly two decades, post-
construction shocks are still
common and the public
demand for comprehensible and
reliable pre-planning visuals
increases. The author blends
knowledge and experience to
explain the scientific disciplines involved. He gives an
overview of how some simple fixed standards will allow
proper validation and testing to restore confidence in
visualisations to facilitate realistic prediction and
effective planning.
Windfarm Visualisation removes unnecessary
complexity and returns to the fundamentals of
photomontage visualisation, discarding pseudo-
science, concluding with simple recommendations
for fixed photographic standards to underpin the
production of comprehensible and verifiable visuals
for use within the planning process. It is a scientific
detective story into what we see, how it can be
misrepresented and manipulated and how standards,
ethics and validation can easily be established for all
wind energy proposals to reliably inform the planning
system and the public.
Contents: Introduction; The framework of existing
guidance; The viewing distance methodolgy; The eye and
the camera; Display and viewing conventions; The
technical problems; The practical problems; The
fundamental problem; The way ahead; Images suitable for
assessment; Gallery of practical examples; Conclusion.
Readership: professionals and lay people involved in
planning, landscape architecture, wind energy
development and visual representation.

...shows clearly and in an unsensational way how virtually all
current and recent windfarm application presentations fail to
give anything like a proper impression of the true visual impact
of these schemes. it is quite clear that the guidelines currently
applied to such visualisations are wholly inadequate and the
result is that not only local communities, user groups and
campaigners but also, crucially, planning officers cannot make
a balanced judgement This book should be on the desk of

CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Connexions The Unseen Hand of
Tony Hunt Foreword by Sir James Dyson
Nigel Dale, Design Consultant and Writer
Tony Hunt spent the six decades of
his professional and personal life
interacting with the lite in the
fields of engineering, architecture
and industrial design. Connexions
demonstrates the way in which he
was able to adapt his engineering
solutions in collaboration with
architects in the formative stages
of the design process to find
structural solutions sympathetic to
their architectural aspirations.
It examines the quest for technological advance
and Hunts passion for industrial and product design
which led him to favour an industrialized component-
based approach to engineering in architecture.
The results of Hunts contribution, and the many
prestigious commissions he received, when working
with the generation of acclaimed architects emerging
from the Architectural Association, the Royal College
of Art and from Yale University scholarships in the
early period of his career, are well-documented and
publicised. Direct comparisons with the great
European and American architect engineers such as
Richard Buckminster Fuller, Charles Eames, Fritz
Haller and Jean Prouv are justifiably made.
Connexions also concentrates on the personal and
professional relationships that Hunt formed during his
career and, by reference to past and contemporary
architects, engineers, industrial designers, artists,
etc., the place that Tony Hunt occupies in the history
of UK design.
Contents: Disrupted early years; 1951, Festival of Britain
and working for Samuely; Hunts historical links; The sixties
adventure; Friends, architects and their houses; The high
point of High-Tech; Hunts quest for technological

Readership: This revealing book will be of immense
interest to all architects, engineers, lecturers and students
in all schools of architecture and engineering.
...this is actually about the engineer who, working with Foster
and Rogers, was at the cutting edge of the High-Tech
movement. Well illustrated, it highlights Hunts engineering
in the UK architectural aesthetic. RIBA Journal RIBA Journal RIBA Journal RIBA Journal RIBA Journal

Decorative and Innovative Use
of Concrete
Graham F. True, Construction Materials Consultant and
Expert Witness, GFT Materials Consultancy, Dudley, UK
This is a broadly chronological
account of the decorative and
innovative use of Portland
cement-based concrete.
Contrary to the oft-held belief that
concrete is a dull material that is
used unimaginatively, this book
demonstrates that it can be used
in an exciting and inspiring way
while benefiting from being a
highly durable building material.
After tracing the decorative use of concrete back
several thousand years, its development is followed into
the 20th century with the invention of Portland cement
and its subsequent use in vast volumes. As concrete was
used more widely, it also was used more creatively and
accounts are included of some of the early exponents of
the material such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier,
Nervi, Lubetkin and Arup. The brilliance of these and other
designers and engineers has provided a legacy of
economy and form that is akin to todays current vogue of
minimalism.
The variety of scale and form is remarkable and after
considering decorative processes and techniques, the
book moves into the sphere of art, demonstrating the
flexibility of the material.
The book contains a wealth of illustrations, and in the
later chapters the author considers the work of selected
designers and then presents a large number of
examples from around the world.
Contents: Introduction; What is decorative concrete; A brief
history of decorative concrete; Decorative processes and
techniques; Concrete applications from around the world.
Recent and future developments; Bibliography; Index
Readership: This handsome book will appeal to architects,

Introduction to Structural
Aluminium Design
Ulrich Mller
An introduction to designing
structures made from aluminium
or aluminium alloy elements. It is
a ready reference to the material
properties and behaviour of
aluminium, and its use in
structural design with reference
throughout to EN 1999, Eurocode
9,
...provides a succinct coverage of all
basic aspects of the structural design of
aluminium members, joints and systems
based on the provisions of BS8118 and, more particularly,
EC9. It is very clearly written, easy to follow and introduces
the reader to the background to each topic before providing
a commentary on the use of the Code provisions. make[s}
structural design in aluminium more accessible to engineers
with the reasonable understanding of structural matters but
who do not need (or wish) to get distracted by more than the
basics. it is well suited to those encountering the structural
use of aluminium for the first time should prove extremely

One Great George Street
The Headquarters Building of the
Institution of Civil Engineers
Malcolm Dunkeld, London South Bank University
This book is the most thorough
study yet undertaken of the
headquarters building of the
Institution of Civil
Engineers in Great George Street,
London, SW1. It
considers how the building visually
represents the
authority of the profession and
discusses not only the
architecture and technology of the
building but also the
social relationships that underpin the structure.
Few headquarter buildings associated with the
professions have been subject to serious historical
study; in effect they are anonymous buildings passed by
each day almost without comment. The aim of this
study is to show that such buildings have a story to tell,
that they and their contents are more than just mute
objects but give valuable insights into the organisation
occupying the building. The Great George Street
building, which was constructed over a thirty-seven
month interval from 1910 to 1913, is surprisingly barely
mentioned by architectural historians and received only
briefest acknowledgement in the building press of the
day. The story has relevance to all those other
professional associations that occupy a large
headquarters building or council chamber and anyone
who is interested in architecture and construction
history.
The book contains fascinating archive material and
discusses the technology of one of the earliest steel
frame buildings in England. Furthermore it investigates
social relationships and the role of Freemasonry in the
Edwardian building world.
Contents: Introduction; Appointment of the Architect;
Choosing the Builder; The Technology of the Building; The
Appearance of the Building; Grand Interior; Loose Ends;
Conclusion; Bibliography. Index
Readership: the book will be of interest to anyone with an
interest in architecture, construction history and civil
engineering including, of course, members of the Institution
who wish to know more about their building.

Some Writers on Concrete
The literature of reinforced concrete,
18971935
Edwin A.R. Trout, Manager, Information Services, The
Concrete Society
This book is a blend of biography
and bibliography that traces the
emergence and development of
the specialist book literature on
concrete at a time when reinforced
concrete was a new technology.
From 1897, and the first complete
building of reinforced concrete in
the UK to 1935 when the literature
mushroomed and the basic
technology was understood and codified.
Some Writers on Concrete contains the
biographies of significant figures, from the UK, USA
and Europe, in the development of concrete
technology and provides comprehensive
bibliographical coverage of their work published in
book form. It forms a corpus of literature and engenders
an understanding of the unfolding narrative of concrete
theory and practice.
The emergence of specialist organisations aiming
to develop the use of concrete took a similar path
over this period with the creation of bodies such as
the Concrete Institute and the Reinforced Concrete
Association which was founded in 1933. In the USA the
pattern was the same with the establishment of the
Portland Cement Association (PCA) and American
Concrete Institute (ACI).
The book concludes with appendixes including the
parallel chronological sequences of British and
American titles, and a list of the main publishers.
Contents: The birth of a specialist literature, Abbreviations
and conventions, Introduction, 19021911: Novelty and
adoption, 19121918: Understanding and acceptance,
19191928: Exploration and expansion, 1929-1935:
Consolidation and codification, Appendixes: Sources,
Bibliography, Chronology, Publishers, Professional Honours,
Index
Readership: civil and structural engineers, students of
engineering, librarians, bibliographers, those engaged in
the concrete industry and the history of engineering and
construction.
This is the long-awaited companion publication to Spackmans
1962 book Some Writers on Cement, and uses the same
combination of bibliography and biography as that classic
text. it can be recommended to anyone who has an interest
in the early literature on reinforced concrete and the men
who produced it. Concrete Concrete Concrete Concrete Concrete

Soil and Rock Description
in Engineering Practice
David Norbury, Consultant; Director, D R Norbury Ltd.,
Reading, UK
The book provides thorough
practical guidance for those
carrying out engineering geological
logging of soil and rock samples
and exposures. Information on the
current systematic and codified
approach and its use are laid out in
detail to ensure the defined
descriptors are used consistently,
rendering mistakes less likely and
communication from field to design more successful.
The practitioner is thus able to record and present
features of the ground from the exposure in such a way as to
convey a field presence to subsequent users of the data. This
is important as field logs provide the only record of the
ground that is available to the designer and contractor later
in the construction process.

Introduction to Molecular
Motion in Polymers
Richard A. Pethrick, Research Professor, Department of
Pure and Applied Chemistry, University of Strathclyde,
Glasgow, UK, Taweechai Amornsakchai, Associate
Professor, Department of Chemistry, Mahidol University,
Thailand and Alastair M. North, Visiting Professor,
Mahidol University, Thailand
A valuable primer that explains how
molecular movement is
determined by chemical structure,
then how the motion controls the
physical and technological
properties of polymer materials.
The reader is thus introduced to the
concepts and the connections with
causative chemical structure on
the one hand and resulting bulk
physical and technological
behaviour on the other by means of a non-mathematical,
molecularly-based approach.
The book integrates polymer chemistry with polymer
physics and polymer engineering. This interdisciplinary
treatment is applied to the mechanical properties of
plastics and rubbers, the morphology of a bulk material
(which also affects physical behaviour), glasses and
rubbers, electrical behaviour, and in particular dielectric
or insulation uses. Also covered is acoustic behaviour,
photo-properties and diffusion phenomena. Emphasis
is placed on the way that time, temperature and
frequency relationships apply in a similar way to all these
phenomena.
Contents: Introduction; Chemical structure of polymers;
Molecular motion in polymers; The glass to rubber transition;
The glass state; Crystallinity; The rubber state; The liquid/melt
state; Drawing and fracture; Dynamic mechanical relaxation;
Acoustic (ultrasonic) relaxation; Dielectric relaxation;
Photophysics of polymers (excited state relaxation);
Conductivity in polymer systems; Diffusion in polymers;

Polymer Science and
Technology for Engineers and
Scientists
Richard A. Pethrick, Research Professor, Department of
Pure and Applied Chemistry, University of Strathclyde,
Glasgow, UK
This book gives a practical insight
into the factors which influence the
performance of a polymer or
composite allowing informed
selections to be made. It results
from thirty years of teaching
polymer science and technology to
engineers and scientists and
provides a solid foundation for more
advanced study.
The book complements introductory courses on
polymers and composites, but also contains
specialist material on the chemistry and physics of
polymers appropriate for scientists seeking a general
knowledge of polymer science. The production of
articles from thermoplastics and thermoset resins is
considered with respect to the vital issue of
fabrication method and a broad appreciation of the
use and application of polymers is provided by
considering polymers as adhesives, in medical
applications and in semiconductor circuits.
Readership: This book is for engineers and scientists who
do not necessarily have a background in chemistry or
physics. As such it will suit students in engineering
materials, polymer science, polymer technology, general
engineering; chemistry and physics concerned with
polymers, and materials and biomaterials. It will also help
engineers in these disciplines to appreciate the range and
variety of polymers and composites which can be used to
solve engineering problems.
